Dialogue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2/24/12

        Dialogue, dialogue and more dialogue. Dialogue is important so we must continue to discuss it. This class focused on ways to improve dialogue. Read your dialogue aloud this makes it easy to detect anything that sounds unnatural. Avoid long passages they don't do any good and the audience will become bored. Give each of your characters a specific voice you can't have them all sounding alike. Get into the character and speak their language don't use someone else's. Your dialogue must serve a purpose. If it does not you must cut it. Give characters habitual phrases but don't overuse slang and avoid stereotypes. Do your research use lingo that would be used in the characters natural setting. Do not use cop lingo for a school teacher or medical terminology for a mechanic.
